Mum Thembi (meaning Hope) brought her three-week-old white rhino calf onto the open plains and Fergus Clarke captured this adorable footage.

Thembi is the first calf born to poaching survivor Thandi. Her birth in 2015 was celebrated as a glimmer of hope as rhino poaching numbers were continuing to rise at the time. Poaching has declined since then but rhinos are still vulnerable to extinction, which is why the arrival of Thembi’s calf, a third generation of Thandi’s family, is so important.
